Skull & Co. AudioBox: Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Audio Transmitter Adapter Low Latency for Xbox (XB1/XSX/XSS/Elite2) Controllers- Black

Can confirm works great with my Airpods Max 2's. Easy to pair them and sound good. The mic on my Airpods isn't going through but there is a mic on the device itself. It's fine. Since the mic is on the device which is plugged into the controller it picks up a lot of the clacking from pressing buttons and moving the sticks, but it works well enough in a pinch so good enough for me. I just wanted to be able to use my airpods wirelesslly so I'm happy with it for that.

Life saver! Very simple to use. I don’t have any issues trying to connect it to my headset. There is maybe a few milliseconds of a delay with sound but it’s nothing that messed with gameplay.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me after reading the reviews and still hoping for a miracle? Shame on me. I really, really wanted this Bluetooth adapter to be the answer to my gaming comfort woes. My trusty over-ear behemoth starts feeling like a medieval torture device after a mere hour, and while earbuds are comfy, they do not work with our proprietary consoles. So, against the warnings of the reviews, I took the plunge. Gotta give it to them on aesthetics – plugged into my controller, this Bluetooth adapter looks slick. It's like they were designed to be soulmates. For a fleeting moment, I thought, 'Maybe my experience will be different!' Narrator: It was not different. The second I jumped into a game, the audio lag hit me like a rogue turtle shell in Mario Kart. We're talking a noticeable delay, somewhere between a quarter and half a second. That might not sound like much, but in the heat of battle, it's enough to throw off your entire rhythm. Swinging my virtual sword felt less heroic and more like bad dubbing in a low-budget action flick. The 'shwing' came after the slash. Immersion? Shattered. It's a fantastic concept that blends seamlessly with the controller. But the execution? Sadly lacking. It's like ordering a gourmet meal that arrives ten minutes after you've already finished eating. The potential is there, but the fundamental flaw makes it unusable for any kind of real-time gaming. Back to the over-ear vice grips, I guess. At least the sound and action sync up.

This works great with my Samsung Galaxy bud 2 earbuds. It does everything I hoped! Some others have complained about the bad microphone but i dont need the microphone to play fallout or watch star wars. Setup and connection was super simple. Just switch it to pair and set your earbuds to pair, then it pairs automatically everytime after that! Just make sure to turn off your bluetooth on your phone first. I believe there might be a small amount of lag that's only seen when gaming, but its almost unnoticeable so it's not a problem for me. I only give 4 stars because there is no volume adjustment

This adapter is a fantastic find for Xbox users wanting wireless audio without the high price tag. I use regular wireless headphones (no mic), and the built-in mic on this unit works beautifully. One caveat: if your headphones have a mic, it won’t be used—this adapter only sends audio, not two-way communication. That said, I knew this going in thanks to my own research, and the vendor was transparent. Great product, great price, and a great vendor.

UPDATE 10/29/2024: I am returning as the mic quality is terrible. The connection to AirPods for sound works well, but the mic quality that is housed on the Skull & Co dongle is terrible, no one can hear you. I’ve had a great experience with the Skull & Co. Bluetooth Xbox adapter. From the start, it was super easy to set up, and I didn’t encounter any of the frustrations others mentioned in reviews. Pairing my AirPods with my Xbox Series X controller was straightforward, and everything connected smoothly. When it comes to performance, the audio quality is crisp—music and game sounds come through perfectly, without any noticeable lag or interference. I’ve read complaints about static, but in my case, I haven’t experienced any of that, which leads me to believe those negative reviews might come from people not setting it up correctly or using incompatible devices. I’m using this with a Series X controller, although I’m not entirely sure which generation it is—and it just works. Honestly, I feel like some of the bad reviews come from people who may not have followed the setup steps carefully or misunderstood how the adapter should be used. It’s doing exactly what I need it to, and I’m happy to recommend it to others looking for a reliable way to connect Bluetooth headphones to their Xbox controller.

I’m not sure how this has so many high ratings. Don’t get me wrong, it does “work” in the sense that it plugs into your controller and allows you to connect Bluetooth headphones. However, the biggest issue is that it only passes through stereo sound with NO support for surround sound. Yes, stereo is fine for headphones, but using DTS:X headphones or Dolby for headphones does not work right. It will only play the left and right channel so any virtualization done by the Xbox does not pass to the headphones so there is a lot of missing sounds. I thought there was something wrong with the device itself until I figured out why it didn’t sound great. I’m not sure why, either. I have a different Bluetooth transmitter that I use and it doesn’t have any issue at all. I was hoping that this would work since it is built to fit the controller, but instead I have to continue to use my Bluetooth transmitter that connects with a headphone cable. The other thing is that the sound quality is surprisingly not great. Overall, I ended up returning this. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Works great for Bluetooth headset audio! Sound quality was better than wired because there is no popping, crackling, or hearing the cable move. However, i don't use the mic ever so that feature was not important to me. The headset mic does not work via Bluetooth so if you plan to use the mic be aware that the mic is attached to the controller. Battery life on the controller will be reduced because the Bluetooth adapter uses power. I found it reduces battery life by about 30% which isn't bad.

I have the Astro A50 (PS edition) which I bought by mistake for my Xbox Series X. Therefore the mic doesn't work when joining online chats. This piece perfectly resolves my issue as now I can hear from my headset and speak through the mic built in this piece. The sound at the other end is perfect with no issues or noise. Highly recommend!

Product received well and no damage...perfect

Cool item to use ur normal blutooth headset with you xbox series controller. No needbto purchase a licensed Xbox Series Headset and lose money. With this you can use ur earbuds and play.
